I had a very busy weekend of weddings here in Gloucestershire over the recent bank holiday. Mark & Jane tied the knot at the fabulous Elmore Court, which if you haven’t considered this as a wedding venue then you really should add it to your shortlist. Set in a peaceful countryside location with great views and a sense of warmth when you step inside this is possibly one of the freshest venues for weddings in Gloucestershire at present
Over the lovely bank holiday weekend I was busy blasting out weddings like never before! It’s not quite a holiday when you have three weddings in a row to photograph, but what made it magical for me was the difference as ever between them all. The first of my triple header was a garden wedding at Barnsley House in Gloucestershire for Paul & Heather.
Who’d have predicted an outdoor wedding at Manor House Hotel this weekend, apparently not the staff! Having set up indoors initially, an about turn occurred, rearranging the plans as the sun burst though the clouds and the day brightened beautifully. I guess that flexibility is what makes Manor House Hotel an accommodating wedding venue. If you’re fallen in […]
Last weekend I was at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire for the wedding of Rob & Peling. I’d previously only chatted to them over Skype as they reside in the USA, but chose to get married back here in the UK close to Rob’s parents home in the Cotswolds. Sudeley Castle wedding venue is stunning, certainly one […]
April 2015 in the UK and summer has arrived, but have we peaked too early? Okay, so it’s now May when I’m writing this blog post, dressed in jeans and a jumper (my shorts have been put back away!). 40mph winds have been bending the bamboo horizontal in my garden and an unexpected nigh time frost got my […]
Several wedding venues I’ve worked at have other purposes besides, well, weddings! Firstly many are actually lived in homes, but are often used as film sets too, and Dorney Court is another such example. With Miss Marple and Poirot being filmed here previously this wedding venue was packed with historical charm. With accommodation on site and a […]
Why not come along to Kingscote Barn Wedding Fair on Sunday 22nd March 2015 11:30-4pm. I’ll be there, with a few other select suppliers, including some of my personal favourites: Chris Fordham, wonder boy and hair stylist, creating glamorous bridal hair, from up do’s to down do’s and everything in-between for the rest of your bridal party. Alongside […]
Fourteen from 2014. Simple. Or so you’d think. Sit down, quickly look across a few thousand wedding photos, and pick half a dozen STAND OUT shots. If only it were the 15 minute job I had planned. Yep, it’s time to review the year gone by, and what a year it’s been. 2014 has seen me […]
In my 10 years as a wedding photographer, as yet I’d not photographed a New Years Eve wedding. James & Naomi’s day was a first therefore, and it’s such a fun day to have a wedding. Clearly you’ll have all your friends at hand to celebrate, and who doesn’t want to party on New Years […]
Winter weddings are ever more popular and over Christmas this year I was at Eynsham Hall to photograph Jay & Laura’s big day. Wedding photography in winter is always a challenge, time is against you, it gets dark very early, typically it’s cold outside and guests are reluctant therefore to step out unless they have mulled […]
